shit, sorry, I'll delete that post right away. I didn't know he was a mythologist at all, let alone that he was infamous for positing a "universal" narrative structure that reduces a variety of works and storytelling traditions to variations on a single Jungian theme regardless of whether their actual contents line up with his thesis. I only knew about his work with Canned Soups.

Terry Pratchett started his career as a crypto-monarchist and ended up the most consistently humane writer of his generation.  He never entirely lost his affection for benevolent dictatorship, and made a few classic colonial missteps along the way, but in the end you’d be hard pressed to find a more staunchly feminist, anti-racist, anti-classist, unsentimental and clear-sighted writer of Old White British Fantasy.  

The thing I love about Terry’s writing is that he loved - loved - civil society.  He loved the correct functioning of the social contract.  He loved technology, loved innovation, but also loved nature and the ways of living that work with and through it.   He loved Britain, but hated empire (see “Jingo”) - he was a ruralist who hated provincialism, a capitalist who hated wealth, an urbanist who reveled in stories of pollution, crime and decay.  He was above all a man who loved systems, of nature, of thought, of tradition and of culture.  He believed in the best of humanity and knew that we could be even better if we just thought a little more.

As a writer: how skillful, how prolific, how consistent.  The yearly event of a new Discworld book has been a part of my life for more than two decades, and in that barrage of material there have been so few disappointments, so many surprises… to come out with a book as fresh and inspired as “Monstrous Regiment” as the 31st novel in your big fantasy series?  Ludicrous.  He was just full of treasure.  What a thing to have had, what a thing to have lost.

In the end, he set a higher standard, as a writer and as a person.  He got better as he learned, and he kept learning, and there was no “too late” or “too hard” or “I can’t be bothered to do the research.”  He just did the work.  I think in his memory the best thing we can do is to roll up our sleeves and do the same.

the fan interpretation of falin touden—that is, as big, broad, transgender, and hot—may singlehandedly have the power to convince a whole generation of transfem people that being skinny and slender is not actually mandatory

i think every trans lesbian deserves at least one cis lesbian of the halimede school of chaserism to worship the ground she walks on

For all that Tumblr is allegedly the "giant robots are a metaphor for gay sex" website, it's downright shocking how few of y'all have played Heaven Will Be Mine.

I will reblog cutesy art of Falin and Marcille because it’s cute and good and I’ve been shipping these two for years and am enjoying the recent surge in farcille art. But I will be honest and say that I think the people who really get it are the artists depicting them covered in blood

transgender catgirls used to roam this site in droves but now they've been all but overtaken by puppygirls.. you can do your part to help stop this critically endangered species from going extinct by breeding your local catgirl today

the term AGP has been coming back in a big way lately with the recent wave of transmisogyny and i worry a lot of younger tgirls might lack the proper context so just to clear the air: AGP stands for Accelerated Graphics Port and it is a parallel expansion card standard from the late 90's. they're calling you an outdated graphics accelerator and urging you to upgrade your hardware so you can run more modern games.

Concept: A gender reveal party but AFTER the kid is born.

Like when the kid is 6 or 12 or 18 or 24. When the kid has decided what their gender is or isn’t.

who cares about theory (yuri) I care about praxis! (flirting with girls on the internet)

I appreciate that lots of games now have ditched body options being tied to gender but now we reaaally gotta move on from “slightly buff thin body” and “super skinny body” being the only available options.
